On the other hand, the area in Northern #Greenland I'm visiting for #Fieldwork from Saturday is also looking pretty god damn beautiful right now too..

Satellite image of a white snow covered landscape with mountains, valleys and fjords picked out in low-angled sunlights. Glaciers arecalving lagre icebergs into a sea ice covered sea

Discussing some work on sea ice and coastal polynyas in #Antarctica with colleague and stumbled on this frankly glorious image from @esaclimate #Sentinel2 on 22nd March this year. So much going on in this picture from #ShackletonIceShelf in East Antarctica.

satellite image showing white blocks of ice and swirls of drifting snow, clouds and out in the blue ocean sea ice

I first met Geir Moholdt in Svalbard in 2005 when we were both PhD students at #UNIS. Now we're both at this high level meeting for the #WMO #PHORS panel, still talking about glaciers.
#SatPic behind his title slide shows #Svalbard #glaciers in summer, not much snow left, a terrible sign for a glacier, confirmed by red blobs that show thinning rates since the 1930s. Since 2011 the glaciers of Svalbard on average have lost half a metre per year!

Preparing a breakfast talk for the research group @dmidk this morning and I'm reminded just how good (in a slightly bleak way) this #satpic animation showing #Antarctica's #IceShelves in retreat...

Man the #Sentinel1 images of NW #Greenland look *cool*

(Sentinel 1 is an #ESA radar satellite - so it can see through clouds, but the images are in black and white)

#SciArt #EarthArt #EO #ESAClimate #EarthObservation #SatPic #Satellite #RemoteSensing

An image of Inglefield Gulf (Inglefield Bredning) - the water in the fjord in the middle is pitch black, land on either side is grey with darker grey patches showing melting snow and ice. Ice bergs are breaking off fast movign glaciers and showing up as brighter grey patches in the fjord

$Grayscale satellite image of the North West corner of Greenland. The ice sheet is white where there is snow with a black and grey band indicating melt and showing all the way along in a swirl. The rocky coast is a lighter grey colour and the sea ice is a fractured pale grey colour.$

So, #1stDecember first day of #Meteorological #Winter + #MeterologicalSummer, #FirstDayofAdvent, start of #AdventOfCode but most importantly, a very Happy #AntarcticaDay @antarctica
#SatPic from #Sentinel2 processed on #Snapplanet

Satellite image of Crane Glacier and mountains around it on the Antarctic peninsula in February 2016 blue glaciers streak down from rugged high mountains to the sea which is covered by ice and broken up calved icebergs. A flatter area of the Larsen ice shelf is deep aquamarine blue, covered with melt lakes. Clouds drift over some of the peak and cover the high plateau in a fuzzy white

Some.og my colleagues at DMI will be heading up here in December to put out instruments that will run until the #SeaIce breaks up next year. I'm planning another trip to study snow processes and melange in March/April next year

Ruth_Mottram - While the #Antarctic stations are opening up, the #Greenland ones are closing down. The last #Sentinel2 pictures of our field site in northern Greenland this year (30th Sep) have appeared on @snapplanetio #PolarScience... #satpic

The #PolarNight is coming which means optical sensors like the amazing #Sentinel2 don't really function very well. There will be more imagery available on e.g. #EOBrowser but I confess I like the in the hand functionality of snapplanet on my mobile phone. I get a small kick out of processing a high Res #satpic while making a cup of tea in the morning... #sentinerd
